He wasn’t drooling during a recent interview, but he might as well have been: He’s got his eye on a Senate seat and a hunger to do away with all of the established institutions that make America a representative republic.

“Kennedy endorsed several controversial ideas”? They certainly aren’t controversial if you’re a Democrat … it’s controversial not to want to eliminate the Electoral College. Even Hillary wants that thing gone, though we think with her it might be personal.

We’re still not sure why the Democrats picked Kennedy to deliver the Democratic response to Trump’s State of the Union, but they must think he’s the future of the party — which is good for Republicans.

Why not just go the full Monty. Abolish the senate and make us citizens turn over all their money to the govt

we had a similar dynamic on the right a few years ago. Still a touch of it left. You get outside voices making serious cases for legislative impossibilities (like demanding Obamacare be abolished when Dems held Senate/WH), and then grassroots back it.

Media talks ad nauseam about the populism which captured the Right in 2016.

But if a Republic is designed to protect against the ugliness of raw democracy, which the founders saw as just as deadly as tyranny, look at the checks on popular will that the Left wants to strip away. https://t.co/onwlPyWIHs
